NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Speccaton of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 28, 1905.

Application filed January 2l, 1905. Serial No. 242,044.

To fZZZ LU/writ t 71cm/ concern:

Be it known that'LCHARLns S. ORR, a citizen of the United States. residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specificatiomreference being hadtherein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to non-relillable bottles, and has for its object the ends commonly sought in this class of devices.

To these ends my invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, and set forth in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a vertical central section of the neck of a bottle embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a plan of the porcelain disk; Fig. 3, a side elevation of the same; Fig. 4, a section of the inclosed parts, taken on line .fu .n of Fig. 1; Fig. 5, a Vertical central section of a portion of the bottle-neck, showing its parts in reversed position and during the escape of liquid; and Fig. 6 isa like View of the same, disclosing the position of the parts after the escape of all the bottle contents and during the application of any force inwardly from the nozzle.

Like reference-letters indicate like parts throughout the views.

My invention is herein described in combination with a bottle-bod y A, having a neck B, provided with an annular rib Z, in which is mounted a disk O, of porcelain, glass, or similar material, traversed by a plurality of radial channels c, angular in cross-section and having a peripheral channel c', which forms a seat for a wire or ring (Z. Surrounding the periphery of the disk O is a band or collar D, of cork, rubber, or other elastic material. The ring Z assists in forcing the outer face of the collar D into the rib Z of the bottle-neck and renders access of a drill or other implement more difiicult. The disk is provided with legs or projections c2, which assist in preventing the plug from being inverted, and thus withdrawn. The band D, which is wedged intermediate its seat c and the rib or bead Z of the bottle-neck, also aords a frictional resistance againstremoval.

Beneath the disk C is frictionally mounted in the neck of the bottle an annular plug E, of cork, rubber, rawhide, or other impervious material, in whose center is frictionally mounted a metallic ring or cylinder e, whose upper -rnargin extends beyond the face of the plug E and is preferably beveled at its extremity. The lower portion of the ring e carries a plu'- rality of arms'el, which converge in a hub or bearing e2, in which is iixed avertical tuloef. A metallic rod f, with an enlarged lower extremity or head f2, slides in the tubef and has fixed to its upper extremity a disk or valve G, of rawhide or other suitable material. An outer tube or plunger ZL slides upon the lower portion of the lixed tube f. The tube ZL has a iange ZL upon its `lower extremity and is provided with an annular shoulder 7b2, against which rests the lower extremity of a spiral spring Z. The upper extremity of the spring abuts against the hub e2. The spring is fixed at both its extremities.

Intermediate the disk C and valve G is a floatl H, of cork or wood, which normally rests upon the valve G.

In'the mouth of the bottle-neck is a stopper I of usual form. Moving freely in the body of the bottle is a glass ball J, which is shown in Fig. l, for convenience, adjacent the plunger It.

The operation of my invention is as follows: Vhen the bottle is inverted, the ball J contacts with the flange ZL of the plunger t, forcing the latter downwardly against the tension of spring Z against the hub e2 of the valveseat, c, allowing the inclosed liquid to pass therethrough, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 5. The weight of the water forces the valve G away from its seat and continuing traverses the channels c of the disk C, whence it escapes from the bottle. l/Vhen the bottle is upright, the parts assume the position shown in Fig. l-that is to say, the tension of the spring Z retains the Valve G upon its seat e, by which means no liquid can pass into the bottle. The closure of the valve described is el'cient even while the bottle is inverted, as shown in Fig. 6, and the attempt is made to inject liquid under pressure, since the contact of the pressed liquid against the float H impels the latter against the face of the Valve G, forcing the valve against its seat.

Having described my invention, what I claim isi l. In a non-retillable bottle, the combination with a bottle-neck, of a guard beneath the stopper, a plug beneath said guard, a cylinder in said plug, a valve seated on said cylinder, a iioat between said guard and valve, a plun- IOO IIO

ger beneath .said plug, a guide for said plunger held in said cylinder, and a ball adapted to contact with said plunger'.

2. ln a non-refillable bottle, the combination with a bottle-neck havinga guardtherein beneath the stopper, of a plug beneath said guard, a cylinder in said plug, a Valve seated on said cylinder, a lioat between said guard and valve, a plunger beneath said plug, a guide for said plunger held in said cylinder, a spring around said guide and plunger and having both ends lixed, and a ball adapted to contact with said plunger.

3. In a non-reiillable bottle the eombination with the neck, ol' a guard mounted in the neck, an annular plug mounted in the neck below the disk, a valve-seat in the plug, a tube liXed in the Valve-seat, a plunger slidably mounted upon the fixed tube, spring means for forcing the plunger away from the valveseat,l a valve-stem loosely mounted in the tube, a valve upon the valve-stem adapted to register with the valve-seat, and a ball adapted to contact with the plunger when the bottle is in inverted position.

4. ln a non-retillable bottle, the combination with abottle-neck havinga guard therein beneath its stopper, of a plug beneath said guard, a cylinder in said plug with one end projecting above said plug and beveled to form a seat for a valve, a valve seated on the.upper beveled end of the cylinder, afloat between the guard and valve, a plunger loeneath the plug, a guide for the plunger held in said cylinder, a spring around said guide and plunger, said spring having both ends liXed, a lloat between the guard and valve and contacting' with the valve, and a balladapted to contact with the plunger.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
